Frequently Asked Questions
What ages are welcome?
We deeply value the richness of a multigenerational group. While the majority of women who join Wild Women Hawai'i retreats are between 35 and 55, a diverse mix of ages from 21 to our cherished elders are always welcome. Every stage of womanhood adds a vital layer to the experience without hierarchy.
Can I come alone?
Yes. Most guests arrive solo. This retreat is intentionally designed as a shared sanctuary, a space where you can focus on your own sensory experience while being held within the safety and presence of a small group of women. Whether you come with a friend or on your own, the environment supports your individual journey.
Where can I find the details on cancellations, safety, and guidelines?
To ensure we create a clear and intentional container with full disclosure, all details regarding the cancellation policy, safety requirements, and guidelines can be found on the Terms & Conditions Page.
Can I bring a child or teenager if she is mature for her age?
Wild Women Hawai'i retreats are open to women 21 and over. This requirement is in place out of respect for the collective nervous system and the specific sensory focus of the immersion. To preserve the integrity of the experience for all attendees, we are unable to offer exceptions at this time.
Can I attend only one day or part of the immersion?
To honor the depth, energy, and trust of the space, all guests are invited to be present for the full experience from start to finish. Each day builds on the one before, and your continuous presence supports the rhythm and safety of the group.
I’m not sure how I feel about being in a group.
Stepping into a group space can feel vulnerable. Everything here is designed with a low-pressure rhythm without spotlight, forced sharing, networking, or performance. You can be in the presence of others while remaining deeply in your own sovereignty and personal process.
Can I come during the day and stay somewhere else at night?
To preserve the integrity of the experience, this retreat is fully immersive. All participants are asked to stay on-site for the duration of the immersion. This uninterrupted time allows your nervous system to relax into the rhythm without the shift of commuting. By staying within the sanctuary, you help maintain a safe, comfortable atmosphere for yourself and the rest of the women.
What should I bring?
Two weeks before we gather, you will receive a welcome packet with a full packing list and helpful details for our time together. Because we will be working directly with the elements, you can generally expect to bring comfortable water gear, sturdy footwear for walking on volcanic rock, and layers for Hilo’s tropical rain and cooler evenings.
Will we explore the island during the retreat?
Wild Women Hawai‘i events are intentionally rooted in one location, inviting you to slow down and fully immerse in the experience. The focus is on sensory depth and inner peace.
We recommend arriving in town a few days early or staying a few days late if you’d like to explore the island on your own. This ensures that during our time together, you are fully rested and ready to step into the sanctuary of the immersion.
Can I offer my practice or teachings during the retreat?
This is a gently guided space facilitated by Michelle.
While we deeply honor the wisdom every woman carries, our offerings are designed as a time for you to receive rather than to provide. To protect the focus and sensory rhythm of the immersion, this is not a space for networking or offering personal modalities. We invite you to leave your "professional hat" at the door and enter fully into your own process.
